Summary

Metamora Grade School is a public elementary school serving 847 students in grades PK-8 in Metamora, Illinois. The school is part of the Metamora CCSD 1 district, which is ranked 137 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Metamora Grade School consistently outperforms the state average on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) exams, with 67.7% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 57.8% in Math, compared to the state averages of 53.1% and 38.5% respectively. The school also performs particularly well for certain student subgroups, ranking in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools for male students and low socioeconomic status students in ELA. However, the school's ranking for special education and disabled students is significantly lower, indicating a need to focus on supporting these populations.

While Metamora Grade School has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism rates in recent years, reaching 26.3% in 2023-2024, this is still lower than the state average. The school spends $10,347 per student, which is higher than the state average and many of the nearby schools, including Sowers Elementary and Germantown Hills Elementary, which show even stronger performance. Overall, Metamora Grade School is a high-performing school that consistently delivers strong academic outcomes, but should continue to focus on supporting all student subgroups and addressing the rising chronic absenteeism rates.
